Michigan's coaches have long been aware of Salt Lake City Highland 2014 defensive tackle Bryan Mone. The Wolverines offered when he was just a sophomore, and were among the first to do so. He repaid that longtime interest yesterday afternoon with a pledge to U-M.

"He came to me today and he told me that thought about it over the weekend," said Highland football coach Brody Benson. "He had discussed it with mom and dad, and felt it was time to pull the trigger and make a decision and be able to concentrate on school and football for the [Highland] Rams next year."
